Reify a dedicated nonprofit organization on a mission to invest in creatives and make a positive impact in our communities. We wholeheartedly believe in the incredible power of creativity to promote cultural diversity, inclusion, and vitality. Our goal is to provide financial, emotional, and professional support to creatives from diverse backgrounds while fostering collaboration between minority artists, local businesses, and city initiatives.
When we invest in local creatives, amazing things happen! We get to celebrate and amplify the unique voices, traditions, and stories of underrepresented groups, bringing people closer together and fostering a greater sense of understanding and unity. Plus, by supporting creatives, we give a boost to the local economy, breathe new life into neighborhoods, and help sustain small businesses and creative enterprises. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!
But here’s the best part: we’re all about collaboration! We believe that when we bring together minority creatives, local businesses, and city initiatives, magic happens. We’re talking about awesome partnerships, exciting projects, and initiatives that address the specific challenges and dreams of our community. By working together, we create a supportive network where knowledge and resources are shared, and innovation thrives. It’s like a big creative family!
At Reify, we’re all about rolling up our sleeves and providing financial support, professional/creative development programs, networking opportunities, and advocating for our talented creatives. We facilitate safe environments where creatives can truly shine and make a difference. Because when our local creatives succeed, our whole community benefits.
So, join us! Let’s tap into the incredible power of creativity to celebrate diversity, foster collaboration, and drive positive change. Together, we’ll leave a lasting legacy of inspiration and transformation for generations to come. Get ready for an exciting journey of creativity and community!
At Reify, we believe that creativity is the powerful force that connects people to one another, to time, to space, and to the world around them. Creativity bridges gaps between cultures, transcends boundaries, and fosters understanding across differences. It connects us to nature, to our communities, and to the deeper aspects of life. Through creativity, we build lasting connections that enrich both individuals and society.
We help creatives connect not only to their local communities but also to global networks, amplifying their voices and their impact.
We believe that creativity thrives when people are cared for.
At Reify, we recognize that creatives often pour themselves into their work, and it’s essential that they feel supported beyond their art. We care about the well-being of creatives, valuing their holistic health. Our community fosters an environment where creatives can grow, collaborate, and succeed. The consideration we have also extends to the quality of work we produce, ensuring that both the process and the product reflect genuine care.
Creativity is a form of energy, and compensation is its currency. At Reify, we understand that compensation is more than just monetary payment—it’s a reflection of the value, effort, and impact creatives bring to the world.
We advocate for fair compensation and create opportunities for creatives to receive the honor they deserve.
Compensation also extends to the recognition, support, and opportunities we provide, ensuring creatives can continue to innovate, thrive, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and beyond.
